At the Dawn of Humanity: The First Humans

Gerard Verschuuren examines the question of how genes may have changed from generation to generation. Then he asks if such genetic mechanisms could explain the faculties of language, rationality, morality, and self-awareness. Are these traits unique to man, or do they in some way derive from the non-human animal world? The answer may surprise you.
